RS 1.0.5.1 Fixes Minor Bugs, Temporarily Corrupts wp.org Download

Role Scoper 1.0.5.1 is a minor bug fix release.  Most of the fixes pertain to Group Roles; in some cases Group Category Roles were dropped when a new user was created or added to a group.

The bigger news today occurred when my struggles with Tortoise SVN (a source code uploading tool) led to corruption of the wordpress.org plugin repository.  The result, for about 15 minutes late morning EST, was the publication of a Role Scoper 1.0.5 update which was missing half of its files.  After getting these files back into the zip, I bumped the version number up to 1.0.5.1.  My apologies to anyone who landed this rare glitch!
